Put the vegetables in the bottom of
the slow cooker. Season the chicken
with salt and pepper and place it atop
the vegetables. Pour in the liquid and
sprinkle with basil. Cover with the lid
and cook on low for 7 to 10 hours, or for
2½ to 3½ hours on high, adding another
½ cup liquid for the longer cooking.
Using a spatula, carefully remove the
chicken from the slow cooker. Strain the
juices and make a gravy if desired
